It’s been over nine months since Coleen Rooney accused “Rebekah Vardy’s account” of leaking stories about her, but last week, the saga took a new turn after Becky made shock claims about her fellow WAG in new court papers.

The mum of five – who is married to Leicester player Jamie Vardy – is suing Coleen for libel and alleged she had been made a “scapegoat” by Coleen – claiming that she had leaked her own stories. Becky was pregnant at the time of Coleen’s accusations and says she felt suicidal and worried for the safety of her unborn child.

Coleen – who has four sons with husband Wayne – claimed that she had posted a series of fake stories on her private Instagram and only allowed one account to view them, which she claims was Becky’s, to see if they made it in the newspaper.
